Well, aren’t we the worst bloggers in the world! Claire and I have been super busy and have neglected blogging horribly. BUT OH WELL.

I have fallen in love with these Primark flatforms and genuinely can’t get enough of them. Unfortunately, they absolutely ruin my feet – the ankle straps literally BRUISE my ankles and unfortunately, I can’t wear them for very long. Which is a shame. I don’t know if any of you gals have bought flatforms from Primark before, but I would be mega keen to hear whether you’ve have the same problem?

But anywho, I also wore my new favourite velvet leggings, which are from New Look. They’re also on sale at the moment for £7, so if I were you, I would run there faster than a fast thing on legs to grab a pair. They are literally perfect for these chilly autumn days. On my top bits, I have on my FAVOURITE Missguided Baroque style shirt. When I bought it, it reminded me a bit of a Mandela shirt. If you don’t know what a Mandela shirt looks like…

What can I say, the man was a style inspiration. Blimey.

What do you think? Is Mandela your new style inspo? 

Outfit of the Day: Warehouse Drop Waisted Dress & Floppy Hat

Warehouse Drop Waisted Dress

FLUFFY BAG

AHHHH. I have been the worst blogger in the world. My only excuse is that I have been very depressed since Claire left me all on my owny at work, and I have had to compensate by sleeping and eating chocolate a lot.

But anywho, while I have been in a bit of a hiatus blogging wise, my shopping has not ceased. While I’ve bought basically MILLIONS of new things, I have also been very lucky to receive this absolutely beautiful dress from the excellent folks at Warehouse. Me and Claire were feeling like bloody ballers when our bits and pieces arrived – it’s very rare that we actually wear things that costed more than 50p.

Sadly, in my old age, I picked this dress because I could wear it to meetings at work, as well as wear on the caj. It’s served me very well in both, and here’s how I wore it recently! In fact, the whole of the Warehouse dress range is amazing, and I thoroughly recommend you take a little gander and get involved. Anywho, In this chilly winter weather, hats are the best for keeping the noggin warm and an obligatory leather jacket keeps things looking leathery. I also wore this with my new favourite ankle boots from New Look, which are Chelsea vibes and have some jazzy suede bits on them too. Huzzah.

Let’s just take a moment to enjoy the furry clutch bag too, which is also from New Look. Swoon. I can’t see it online yet, but I got this one instore in Stratford-upon-Avon.

What do you think, chums? 

Outfit of the Day: Ripped Joni Jeans & Tartan Scarf

Hello there sexy things! SO last weekend it was my birthday, which means 2 things: 1, I am now horrendously old. And 2, I obviously had an excuse to go shopping. Initially I hit the Bullring in my old uni city Birmingham, planning a full day of shopping armed with all of my birthday money and my fantasy winter wardrobe in mind. Unfortunately, I made an awful mistake.

…I tried to go shopping with a boy. DUH, I hear you cry.

He made it as far as Forever 21 before looking like he might collapse. Weakling. I therefore took myself off on a solo shopping mission the next day in my hometown and was obviously 428% more successful. I picked up this entire outfit (minus the bag, which has been my go-to day bag for the last month or two now) as well as plenty more bits that I’ll likely showcase soon in a haul of some sort.

Primark tartan scarfI finally caved in and bought some of Topshop’s iconic Joni jeans, which I officially love. They’re high-waisted and suck you in really well, without flattening your bum into a pancake bum as some skinny jeans can do (looking at you Primark). I opted for the pair with the ripped knees because I’m bloody crazy, and also a knee slut. I also picked up the long-sleeved crop top as a casual basic, though I got the petite version which actually maybe comes up a little too cropped.

From Primark I was chuffed as shit to find this beauty of a scarf. I wasn’t sure if I’d still like tartan this season, but I love the navy focus of this one. It’s absolutely massive and could probably worn as a makeshift blanket cape if you didn’t fancy buying a proper one, making it even more of a bargain at just £5. I also love these pointed flats, which I think were around £14. They’ve got a beautiful mock croc effect that I was going to show you up close, but I have mega toe cleavage in these shoes and I decided it was frankly indecent.

What do you all think of this outfit? Let me know in the comments below!

Outfit of the Day: Missguided Trouser Co-Ord

OOTD 29th Sep Collage 1Top and Trousers: both Missguided | Shoe: Primark | Clutch Bag: ASOS (old)

HEY GUYS. As you may know if you read our recent Missguided wishlist post, I’ve had my beady eyes on this two-piece for a couple of weeks now. I had a christening to go to over the weekend and so finally saw my chance to buy it. Yes, I technically wore a crop top to church. Sorry baby Jesus. I have to say though that I’m COMPLETELY in love with this co-ord. It’s made from quite thick polyester so feels much more formal and fitted than other crops-and-trouser combos, and I think the print is really flattering (despite my hips looking approx 3 metres wide).

OOTD 29th Sep Collage 2I was a bit unsure how the trousers would fit as normally my stumpy legs require petite lengths, but Missguided trousers are actually a really good length for me. I’m looking forward to wearing these for my new job with a cami or jumper, and I should get plenty of wear from the top too seeing as it’s not too cropped.

OOTD 29th Sep Collage 3I teamed the co-ord with my nude Primark heels (£13, say whut) and bright envelope clutch from ASOS.  I kept jewellery simple with a couple of silver rings, and had my new Barry M shade ‘Coconut’ on my nails.
